DemiDose Pill Splitter

Have you ever needed to split a pill? It's not as easy as it sounds. My only result has been to have the pill crumble and make a mess.

TechniTab Inc. has created DemiDose, a pill splitter which the company claims will split pills in half with a high accuracy rate between 93% to 100%.

It's secret is a blue template with a cutout in the middle designed to hold and center a pill under the cutting blades, producing cleanly cut pills with no crumbling or crushing.

The company offers a wide variety of templates for various shaped pills, including Levitra, Cialis, Fosamax, Lipitor, Norvasc, Viagra, Zocor, etc.
